I should of googled authentication instead of htaccess. Sorry for the  
noise. Here is the solution

Basic Authentication

```
require 'net/http'

Net::HTTP.start('www.example.com') {|http|
  req = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/secret-page.html')
  req.basic_auth 'account', 'password'
  response = http.request(req)
  print response.body
}

```
